I've been out of the poker blogger loop for a long time now an stumbled across this drama last night. So disappointing. I'm glad it's over.

Sorry to hear someone shit on the Bodog tournies. I agree with ya here. It is one thing to rip on it but to take advantage of the benefits is BS.

I think Love Elf said it the best. NH Tina.

I completely agree smoke. I took the gloves off and posted my true thoughts on the situation. Its great read for the growing number of hoy haters out there. This type of BS needs to stop immediately.

A diagnosis reqires five (or more) of the following:

1. a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique
4. requires excessive admiration
5. has a sense of entitlement
6. is interpersonally exploitative
7. lacks empathy
8. believes others are envious of him or her
9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......I think we have a winner

I like Hoy and will continue to like Hoy, but I have to admit, this bothered me as well. I had my suspicions that it was Hoy from the start, but I wasn't sure. I wish I could have picked an anon name and played this tournament. I understand that other bloggers picked other names - Blinders and LJ did this - but didn't try to hide the fact that they were those people.

I was heads-up once with ICB and would have benefited greatly from the fact that I knew for sure it was Hoy. He had that advantage against me. I didn't. I don't think it's just a coincedence (sp) that once Hoy was outed he was quickly dispatched by the other players in the freeroll Tuesday.

Well duh. Was it any mystery it was him from the first post? i think not. Tina said it best. Issues. Lots of them. Where do you even start?

Well put. I expect a certain amount of pompousity on his blog, but this episode goes a bit more beyond the pale. Disappointing, to be sure.

He's a very strong player, and I'd like to think a nice guy, but douchebaggery is douchebaggery. But it's teh interwebs, so it'll pass.

Well said. Pretty sure most people already know my thoughts on him tho, lol.

Sad to see a second proverbial bad apple in the basket, but colour me unsurprised.

Hopefully the blogger community is now free of such taint.
